SSL-VPN

For secure access to the VPN Uni (campus network in general) via SSL (so-called "SSL-VPN"), the kiz provides the Cisco Secure client, which can be used with the kiz account. Because of the simple installation and setup of this software, SSL-VPN is the standard procedure we provide for VPN access.

Download and configuration
